I did get super lucky though on that one cause wallach's work is full of sex and gender stuff and that is my bread and butter

Once I wrote a paper on the poetry of yona wallach and I didn't even start reading the poetry until the day it was due, and I was genuinely a little pissed off when I got a perfect score on it

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Man, I wish I could do a play

genuinely had a great time at that show, nothing made sense but everyone was vibing and having fun, probably because like 90% of the audience were theater people lol

I once saw a college production of five Beckett shorts, which opened with "Breath," which is 35 seconds of the sound of heavy breathing while you look at a stage that's empty except for random trash scattered around

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

The circumstances are that I was thinking maybe I'll get a peanut butter cup and mere seconds later my eyes beheld a whole bin of the 10.5oz bags of peanut butter cups

In a way everything good in my life, bc so much of it is downstream from marrying my husband, which only happened because I made friends with his friend in a chat room in 1997 and then after we'd lost touch looked him up on myspace years later
